In the last couple weeks I've read: A Confederacy of Dunces by John Kennedy Toole The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald The Stranger by Albert Camus The Partly Cloudy Patriot and Assassination Vacation by Sarah Vowell

Also, I'm (finally) going to read all of Ovid's Metamorphoses--it's definitely something I should have under my belt, but specifically I want to get to the Orpheus and Eurydice episode, because a theater-major friend of mine asked me to consult on her upcoming production of a modern interpretation of the myth, which will be put on in the spring ('09). Should be fun.

I'm reading this for class now, too. It seems interesting so far.

On my own time, I finished The Jungle by Upton Sinclair a while ago, and for now I'm in the midst of Odd Thomas by Dean Koontz. I have a soft spot for Koontz.
